Kathy is responsible for an asset valued at $25,000. It is determined that her asset has an exposure factor of 10 percent. What is the single loss expectancy (SLE)?

A.
$250,000

B.
$15,000

C.
$2,500

D.
$250

Explanation:
Single loss expectancy (SLE) is calculated by multiplying an assets value by its
exposure factor, which is the amount of potential loss that could be endured if the
identified threat were to occur. In this example,
Asset value x exposure factor = SLE
$25,000 x 10% = $2,500

each time a threat would cause a possible damage of 10% to an asset which costs 25000$. Maximum damage each time would be

25000*10/100=2500$

again a straight forward question.
